Tile & Grout Cleaning
Our ServicesTile and Grout Cleaning in Phoenix & the Entire Valley | Martin’s All Floor Services
Depending on what type of tile you have, tile floors can be easy to clean and maintain with professional help. Tile floors are cooler during the hot summers. After time and all the countless attempts of moping your tile, your floors probably don’t look the way they did when you first had them installed and or you may be in a home where the existing floor is not meeting your expectations. There are several solutions! If we aren’t confident that any of the solutions will be cost effective or provide the end result you are looking for, we won’t waste your time or money. Nine times out of ten, there are options available that will improve the appearance of your floors. Options that will prove to be time and money saving that won’t require replacing your entire floor.
Tile flooring is durable, stylish, and long-lasting, but over time, dirt and grime settle deep into grout lines, making floors look dull, stained, or discolored. Even regular mopping can’t reach embedded dirt, and grout—being highly porous—absorbs moisture, grease, and bacteria, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas.
Since 2001, Martin’s All Floor Services has helped homeowners and businesses across Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, and surrounding areas restore their tile and grout to like-new condition. Our deep-cleaning process removes years of buildup, brightening grout and making tiles shine again.
Many times a customer will choose flooring without knowing and understanding what it will require to maintain and care for their investment. We will discuss that on this page and the next few pages about our services.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile is by far the most common and economical tile. Ceramic tile is a man made tile. It is made from clay using different additives and water, then hardened by heat. It’s usually given a unique decorative glaze. Ceramic tile is most often “sealed” during the manufacturing process it goes through. (This is why we seal your grout, not your tile, it evaporates off your tile).
Ceramic tile has come a long way these days. There is an array of different styles and textures to choose from. Wood look alike, natural stones. Lots of choices. This provides a least expensive alternative to the more expensive natural stones. (More about them on our natural stone page)
Caring for your ceramic tile and grout is easy. Your ceramic tile and grout should be thoroughly and professionally cleaned once it has been installed, this is to be sure that the overlay of dust and powder is removed before the sealing process. Yes your grout should most definitely be sealed! An experienced installer should be encouraging this, they should only be performing this part of the job if they know what they are doing and are equipped to properly clean your floors. (Most are not, that’s why they are the “installers” we are the “restoration” guys) The grout is the material that binds the tiles together, keeps everything in place. Sealing the grout provides a protective barrier. It gives you time to clean up the spill or mishap before it sets into the grout. Grout is extremely porous, meaning there are many tiny holes which allow unwanted particles to penetrate through it. After time and mopping, dirt, dust, pollen, spills and so forth accumulate causing your grout to become dirty and or stained. This is where the “sealing process” becomes very important. Sealing is definitely worth the extra cost!
Understanding Tile Types & Proper Maintenance
Proper maintenance extends the life of your tile and grout and keeps floors looking their best between professional cleanings. The key is to not wait until your floors look dirty—routine care prevents buildup and staining.
- Mop Floors Once or Twice a Week – Use only hot, clean water to remove surface dirt. If using a cleaner, choose a natural, pH-balanced formula to avoid damage.
- Use Gentle Cleaning Agents When Needed – A small amount of gentle dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, or diluted vinegar can be effective, but avoid overusing acidic cleaners like vinegar, as they can break down grout over time.
- Sweep & Vacuum Regularly – Dust and debris can scratch tile surfaces and cause grout to wear down faster.
- Clean Spills Immediately – Grout absorbs liquids quickly, leading to stains and long-term discoloration.
- Seal Grout Every 1-2 Years – This prevents moisture absorption and helps repel dirt, making future cleaning easier.
By following these steps, you’ll maintain a clean, stain-free floor and reduce the need for frequent deep cleanings.

Long-Term Tile & Grout Care for Lasting Protection
While regular maintenance keeps your tile looking fresh, grout naturally absorbs dirt, moisture, and bacteria over time, leading to stains and deterioration. To extend the life of your tile and grout, it’s essential to take preventative measures beyond daily cleaning. One of the most important steps is scheduling professional tile and grout cleaning every 12-18 months. Even with routine mopping, deep-seated dirt builds up in grout lines, and only high-powered extraction cleaning can fully restore its original color. High-traffic areas, kitchens, and bathrooms may need more frequent treatments to maintain their best appearance.
Sealing grout every 1-2 years is another crucial step in preventing stains and moisture absorption. A high-quality grout sealer creates a protective barrier that repels dirt and makes future cleaning much easier. Additionally, using floor mats and rugs in entryways and high-traffic areas helps minimize wear and tear, reducing the amount of dirt and sand that can scratch tile surfaces or erode grout. Harsh chemical cleaners, especially those that are highly acidic or abrasive, should be avoided as they can weaken grout and strip away protective coatings. Instead, always opt for pH-neutral cleaners designed specifically for tile and grout to preserve their integrity.
It’s also important to check for cracks or loose tiles periodically. Small cracks in grout or shifting tiles can allow water to seep underneath, leading to long-term damage that requires costly repairs. Addressing these issues early helps maintain the strength and appearance of your floors. By combining professional cleaning, proper sealing, and mindful care, you can significantly extend the life of your tile and grout while keeping them looking fresh and stain-free for years to come.
